Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Sausage
Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Sausage
Servings: 4 Servings
Calories: 522kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 spaghetti squash about 3 pounds/1.4kg
- ¾ pound uncooked sausage (any kind)
- 5 medium shallots thickly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic crushed or minced
- 1 cup coarsely grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano or other herb complementary to the sausage
- Kosher or sea salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Oil a sheet pan with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
- Slice the squash in half lengthwise (see note). Scoop out the seeds and stringy bits then place the squash, cut sides down, on the prepared pan.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a fork easily separates the squash flesh into strands. Loosen and remove the “spaghetti” from the shells and set aside.
- Pinch and pull small balls of the sausage out of its casing, arranging them so they stay slightly separate.
- In a large sauté pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
- Add the shallots and garlic.
- Cook until soft, stirring, and then add the sausage.
- Cook, untouched, until the sausage starts to brown, then stir.
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the squash strands to the sausage and continue cooking until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Toss in the Parmigiano Reggiano and oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
Note: Use the tip of the knife to first pierce the squash and get the cut started. Then the rest of the squash should slice easily.
